there is also [email protected]

at least actually post it to [email protected] if you leave a comment like that…

Doesn’t PeerTube already do this? Maybe I am mistaken.

In any case there’s nothing inherently preventing this, just because a platform gets some of its data from other servers instead of its own users, it doesn’t mean it can’t use that data to run a recommendation algorithm.

I don’t want it though. I prefer choosing for myself what sources I want to get information from instead of getting any of it recommended by the platform operator.

What data?

It’s possible there’s something in the firmware or BIOS that transmits some things to Apple; I do not know for sure, but maybe someone else will show up here who knows details about this. Even if that is so, Apple gets significantly less data because anything built into macOS won’t be running.

Are you sure you will be allowed to drive a manual car in Romania with your American license if you didn’t take the test with a manual car? I live in a different European country and here if you take the test with an automatic car, you are only allowed to drive automatic cars. You should research this.

It’s definitely different from an automatic car and requires more concentration. Once you get used to it, it’s not difficult. I was older than you are now when I learned to drive at all (which I did on a manual car) and managed it anyway.

if you can post text, you can post base64-encoded data, incl. images

Legal questions can’t be meaningfully answered without a location. But there are many places where there are laws against that and this can be a crime.

I suspect you already know about Meads v Meads. Paragraph 73 of that provides some clues:

All this is a consequence of the fact gurus proclaim they know secret principles and law, hidden from the public, but binding on the state, courts, and individuals.

Many people like the thought that they know something no one else knows or that at least most people don’t know. Including things about the law.

that may in part be out of consideration to others, most others don’t want to see that… so maybe a bad example…

What would “selling Chrome” even entail? The vast majority of Chrome’s source code is free and open source software, i.e. it has no owners. Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead? Do they want Google to be prohibited from distributing a browser based on the Chromium codebase? Have they given any of this any thought at all?

How old is “old” for this purpose?

It would be possible to set up an instance where users could post as guests, ie everyone who did that would appear as the same user, something like [email protected].

It is also likely that such accounts would soon be banned in many places because people will use them to post unwanted posts and comments.

Thx, fixed

If you click around a bit more in that documentation, you can see that that isn’t an enumeration of genders, it’s an interface for answering the question which gender any given name belongs to. (For example, “Andrea” is understood as exclusively feminine for German speakers, but it’s a common male first name in Italy.)

A long time ago I did some things with https://revealjs.com/ but not sure how viable that is.

In principle the main thing you’d need to have is a way for people to post anonymously. This could be implemented by having all posts and comments appear as sent by [email protected] or similar.

The rest is just a different (flat) interface for “group federation” and possibly a requirement to attach images to new posts. In principle this could interface with existing federated groups just fine I think, only it’s likely a lot of communities and instances would ban that “anonymous” user very soon.

It’s not an exam, it’s a discussion among professionals in the field.

The existence of cash is probably the least of one’s problems in that scenario. How is food going to be delivered to stores without working gas pumps? How will stores open their electronic doors or process payments without a cash register?

If this is something you are worried about, store enough non-perishable (eg canned) food in your home so you don’t starve in that scenario.

Not possible with OsmAnd, if you want to edit geometry you need a full featured editor. For Android one option is Vespucci.
